KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Behold the
Triple Hog Dare Ya and Brew Pub Philly, two over-the-top sandwiches
headlining today's arrival of six new or improved handhelds in the
nearly 2,000 Applebee's across the country.
Stacked high with pulled pork, Black Forest ham and thick-sliced
bacon, crispy onions and melted cheddar cheese on a Ciabatta bun,
the Triple Hog Dare Ya signals a new attitude in the neighborhood
as a bar-and-grill classic elevated with premium ingredients,
preparation and flavors.
The Brew Pub Philly takes the standard-issue Philly cheesesteak
to new heights by featuring premium sliced Montreal steak instead of traditional shredded
meat, peppers, onions and jalapenos that are fried instead of
sauteed, beer cheese sauce instead of typical processed cheese and
a grilled Ciabatta roll instead of a hoagie bun. Beer cheese sauce
is served both on the sandwich and as a dipping sauce on the
side.
"We've given each of these classic sandwiches a signature
Applebee's twist," said Darin Dugan,
Applebee's Senior Vice President of Culinary and Marketing. "Our
new, craveable handhelds perfectly support Applebee's menu
evolution."
Other new, improved handheld menu items include:
- The Maple Bacon Chicken Piadini, featuring
cedar-seasoned chicken, thick-sliced bacon, cheddar cheese and
sweet-and-savory maple mustard in a unique Piadini wrap that is
finished on the grill.
- The Kickin' Turkey Stacker, featuring thick-sliced
turkey breast, Swiss cheese, sriracha chile lime sauce and cole
slaw on potato bread.
- The Clubhouse Grille, improved with Black Forest ham,
paired with turkey, bacon, cheddar and Jack cheeses and served with
honey barbecue sauce.
Handhelds are served with free refills of fries or new crispy,
thin-sliced House Chips, along with housemade sweet & spicy
pickles.
Joining the handhelds as new menu items today are a Sweet &
Spicy Pickles bar snack and Salsa Verde Nachos with pulled pork,
which join 11 new Bar Snacks and Appetizers introduced earlier this
year, and the revolutionary All-In Burger platform – which became a
guest favorite in late 2014.
Applebee's new appetizer menu enables guests to customize their
plates and platters by mixing and matching any combination of items
for a variety of flavors and portion sizes. New appetizers include
Sriracha Shrimp, Salsa Verde Nachos with beef brisket or pulled
pork, Double Crunch Wings, Pot Stickers and American Style Kobe
Beef Meatballs.
The All-In Burger menu features four handcrafted burgers with
premium ingredients like bacon and mushrooms seared directly into a
fresh burger patty.
